INTRODUCTION
In Welcome to Our Hillbrow, Phaswane Mpe delves into the complexities African writers
encounter when writing in their native languages. The novel portrays the character of Refentše
grappling with the challenges posed by systemic censorship and cultural biases that undermine
the use of African languages in literature. Mpe’s depiction reflects a broader struggle against the
legacy of apartheid-era censorship that continues to influence the literary world. This essay will
analyze how Mpe employs language to critique these issues, using Refentše's experiences as a
focal point. To deepen this exploration, the views of key scholars—Obiajunwa Wali, Ngugi wa

their perspectives, this essay will assess whether the debate over language choice remains
significant in the 21st century.
